Perhaps the most famous slogan that came out of the American War for Independence was the patriotic cry of Patrick Henry, 'Give me liberty or give me death!' Although not all colonists who fought the British were so zealous, this slogan does summarize to a great extent the basis for much of the colonial resistance to Great Britain's heavy-handed rule.

The colonists ignored the stamp act and boycotted all British goods until the Parliament agreed to let the colonies have representation in the Parliament. "No taxation without representation!" was their slogan.
One of the most significant reasons why the colonists were against the British taxes was because they had no say over them, as they were not represented in the British government. The United States Declaration of Independence was ratified on July 4, 1776.
The colonists thought it was not fair if England kept taxing them when they didn't even have a say in Parliament. So I think that it was a meaningful slogan because to this day you can tax someone without a vote or say.
Primarily the Colonists argued that because they had no voice in the distant British Parliament they should not be subjected to British taxes (and some other British demands). The slogan was, "No taxation without representation." Then when Britain decided to require the Colonists pay taxes to help with the debts Britain incurred in their war with France, the Colonists rebelled.

The main complaint was that they were being taxed at an extraordinarily high rate on imported goods from Britain and felt unable to do anything about it because they weren't represented in the British Parliament. Their slogan at the time was 'No taxation without representation'.
"No Taxation Without Representation!" was the phrase.
