Re: Causes for independence...Magna Carta

"It was taxation without representation, not taxation with representation that was the colonies rallying cry. A little difference there."

...was what was posted. This famous "rallying cry" was an interpretation of the British Constitution, and implied by the poster was the main point of the revolution. The Confederacy fought for the same principles, over an interpretation of the U.S. Constitution that they felt important.
