No Taxation Without Representation!

Except "Representation" was turned down by the Colonists (twice).

A good read about the War of Independence, though fictional, but probably closer to the truth than most history books would be "Scoundrel" by Keith Thompson. It does a "Flashman" to those troubled times, but using a real protaganist instead of a fictional one.
