Who invaded the underground railrode?
The Nazi Gestapo was constantly on the alert for underground resistors. The resistance network ran The Comete Line and another underground railroad to help downed pilots and Jews escape European countries. The Gestapo never let up on searching for the people who were trying to escape the "underground railroad". They did not really "invade" the underground railroad but rather arrested and often imprisoned the evaders/escapees or killed them outright. I have added my favorite, interesting related site for you to read about the underground railroad of World War 2. This site has many related links that might interest you too. This site gave me a ton of information when I was doing research for my book.

What did the abolitionists do?
The abolitionists were people who were against slavery in the 1800's, and believed in the immediate end and abolishment of slavery in America. Abolitionists sought to pass laws preventing the spread of slavery. They helped Southern slaves escape to Canada, many using the organized network of the Underground Railroad. Some abolitionists just helped slaves tell their story. In 1860, the election of pro-abolition congressmen led to the secession of the Southern slave states to form the Confederacy, leading to the Civil War.
