The US military draft began in the US Civil War (1861-1865).
I have read it was used during the Civil War years for the first time in the United States.
There was a military draft during the Civil War, so if you evaded the draft you could get into trouble. Of course, not everybody was drafted.
Conscription is another term for the military draft.
The US Civil War & Vietnam War experienced draft riots. These were physical violent protests against the military draft (conscription).

The US Civil War (1861-1865) was the US's first military draft; the Vietnam War (1961-1975) was the US's last military draft. Both the Civil War & Vietnam War had draft dodgers and draft riots. Both the Civil War and Vietnam War were un-declared wars; in both wars, the South lost the war; during both wars the US President was assassinated; during both wars a Vice President Johnson took over office.
A small percentage of men drafted actually joined.
