The 3 Most Common Examples of the Military Draft in the history of the U.S.A are The Confederacy put in their draft in 1862 The Union instituted their draft in 1862 (mass riots ensued in New York and Boston) In Vietnam the military instituted a draft in early 1969
the first "official" draft occured during the civil war
Uncle Sam went after the 22 year men before he hit the 19 year olds.
The end of 1969 was the first draft lottery.
Lincoln and congress first orchestrated the nation's first military draft during the US Civil War (1861-1865). Vietnam (1861-1975) was the last military draft orchestrated by Nixon and congress.

The last draft in the U.S. military was during Vietnam. The draft never really "stopped" because it was never really "going". It is simply a military policy that is enacted during times of need.

The FIRST US war to have an "official" military draft was the US Civil War (1861-1865); which also resulted in the nation's FIRST "draft riots." Vietnam (1961-1975) was the LAST military draft, with the accompanying last "draft riots." US males were drafted in WW1 (1917-1918), WW2 (1941-1945), and the Korean War (1950-1953).
