Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

I recently resigned my position due to stress - too much work and mishandling by executives of a harassment case that I brought forward on the behalf of an employee. They were upset when I said I wanted to leave. I was pressed for my reasons so I was honest with my supervisor and then the CEO called me and asked me to reconsider. I wanted to go quietly but now I am getting badgered by why I didn't go to the CEO about my dissatifaction of the lack of urgency regarding holding the president accountable to the harassment issue, even though I asked my boss, the VP of HR, every couple of weeks about the progress. All I want to do is to get my unemployment. I was told that they will contest and "We'll see you in court if you appeal." As an HR Manager, what would I face if I asked about going to the shareholders or board of directors? This sort of stress is why I tried to resign quietly. They are upset that I am leaving, but I never thought they would go to these lengths. I want to leave on good terms, but I am getting angry.
