Which side were fighting for slavery the north or the south?
The south was the slaveholding section, though there were still a few slaves in the north. Slavery had once been legal in all the states. But the south was not fighting FOR slavery. Most Confederate soldiers did not own slaves. Slaves were expensive. Think about it - would you go fight, and fight hard, for years, just so some rich man could keep his slaves? And the north was not fighting against slavery, at least not at first. The north was fighting to "preserve the Union", which the southern states wanted out of. The southerners were fighting for their independence. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation came after a year and a half of war, and changed the war into one which we look back on today as "for" or "against" slavery.
What did they have to do in the underground railroad?
The "underground railroad" was neither a railroad, nor was it underground. In the same sense of the French Underground in World War II, the Underground Railroad was a secret group, composed of anti-slavery sympathizers in the North and South before the US Civil War. The group helped escaped slaves to reach freedom and safety, usually in non-slavery states of the North. At that time, slave owners would often pursue slaves who fled North, and the "railroad" frequently provided new identities to protect slaves from organized slave hunters. Beginning in the areas where the slaves escaped, farmers or townspeople would provide food, new clothing, and hiding places for the slaves. Then , usually at night, they would be moved to safe locations farther north, or to ships on the coast. So it commonly took several days to weeks for slaves to complete their journey. Once in the North, they would be provided homes, jobs, and often new names.
