What they're saying that slavery wasn't the main reason for the war (though they are downplaying it quite a bit), it was a contributing issue along with others. After 1862 and the Emancipation Proclaimation the idea of ending slavery was used to gain more support for the cause of the war and thus it became more important.

However, our education system teaches us that it was a war fought over slavery (along with Lincoln liking black people, Columbus discovering America and being friends with the natives, etc...) so perhaps they're downplaying slavery's role over frustration.....
