More details to this question:
We were told the supervisor would not know who wrote the review and we were told it would be confidential. But he supervisor got a an email and began his search for the author of the review by confronting employees until he would be able to find out who wrote he review. "Confidential" meant to all employees that he would not know who wrote it but as I stated he began to confront employees.

These facts are understood and appreciated. Nevertheless, a person being asked for feedback regarding a supervisor should reasonably have contemplated that the supervisor would be confronted with the feedback by his superior. After all, that was the (very obvious) purpose for which the feedback was solicited. Now that your clarify the facts, it is clear that your employer did not disclose the origin of the feedback -- it was not attributed to you or to any other specific employee. A reasonable person would therefore conclude that your participation was indeed "confidential."
