Actually, if we are referring to the United States, the first actual Draft was used by the North in the Civil War. It was highly unpopular, as it was very unfairly conducted.

When was the first time the military draft was used?

During the American Revolution, some states resorted to the draft to get citizens to join the state militia. The United States first employed national conscription during the Civil War. I believe President Madison had tried to institute a draft while he was President but Congress would not approve it. The Union conscription law led to violent draft demonstrations in New York City, in 1863. Several people were killed during the Draft Riots.
