A small percentage of men drafted actually joined.
The South had a better system.
I have read it was used during the Civil War years for the first time in the United States.
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.
It depends on which war you're referring to, but the Congress has the authority to instate the "draft", where people are forced to join the military. The draft was last used in Vietnam.

To require someone to join the military. Military concription, the proper term for the draft, has been used worldwide since the Ottoman Empire in the 9th century. In the U.S., it has been activated during the Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean Conflict, and the Veitnam War.

The draft was first used during the American Civil War
Specifically, there is not one person that came up with the military draft. The earliest known military drafts date back to ancient Japan, the Aztecs, and Ancient Greece and Rome. The first time the draft that we are familiar with came into play a couple of years before Napoleon came into power in France. The draft was used in every American war starting with the Civil War, until it was abolished in 1973.

In the early part of the American Civil War, both the north and the south had many volunteers. As the war wore on, and casualties mounted, the volunteers dwindled. Both sides used the draft to fill their military ranks. The draft, or threat of a draft, caused many to volunteer before they were drafted.

The first US draft was during the US Civil War (1861-1865); the last US draft was during the Vietnam War (1961-1975).
