Was the revolutionary war primarily about tea?

No, but the Declaration of Independence did not focus on tea.

However, the Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union mentions slavery as the primary reason for the state’s action.

No, but then no reasonable person would attempt to make such a clumsy comparison.
