While I think you have a point, I wouldn't go so far as to say slavery was "relatively minor." There were a number of factors that led to the war -- economics (as honey has mentioned) and differing constitutional understandings and ideas of federalism being among the leading factors. But these factors were all inter-related, and slavery was deeply woven into the woof and warp of them all.
While it's probably not accurate to say the slavery was
the reason for the war, I don't think it's accurate either to say it was a relatively minor issue. It was the common denominator in all the factors the lead to the war.
