Were any bombs used in the revolutionary war?
Yes, they were called Fougasse.From WikipediaA fougasse (pronounced /fuːˈɡɑːs/) is an improvised mine constructed by making a hollow in the ground or rock and filling it with explosives (originally, black powder) and projectiles. Fougasse was well known to military engineers by the mid-eighteenth century but was also referred to by Vauban in the seventeenth century and was used by Zimmerman at Augsburg in the sixteenth century. This technique was used in several European wars, the American Revolution, and the American Civil War. The term is still used to describe such devices.

How do you serve fougasse bread?
It is a rustic bread meant for sharing, and works great as an appetizer. Put out two little dishes - one for a very good quality olive oil and one for a good quality balsamic vinegar. Invite your guests to tear off a piece and dip away (as long as there is no double dipping!).

Did England set the sea on fire against Germany?
If you mean "did the government of Great Britain plan to set fires to burn invading German barges?", the answer is . . . almost. A plan was put forward to fit likely landing beaches with pipelines which would pump petrol out onto the surface of the water, which could then be detonated to cause devastating fires. That was the plan, but tests showed that in practice such a scheme would be ineffective and it was replaced by similar installations on the beaches themselves. Sand was shown to assist the burning, so the plan was changed to "booby trap" land areas rather than the sea. These installations were built in secret on many potential landing beaches - they were all removed once the danger of invasion had passed. But there were other, more devastating, secret plans for inland in case the Germans successfully got ashore: these were called "fougasse" and they would be hidden along roadsides, preferably on steep hills where enemy vehicles would be slowed down. They were enormous stockpiles of petrol, with large amounts of explosives and concrete rubble behind (all dug in and hidden at the side of the road). They would have been detonated by just one man alongside an enemy convoy and would have acted as a gigantic flame-thrower and river of burning petrol, which would flow downhill and destroy large numbers of tanks, other vehicles and troops. There was no defence against such weapons. The photograph in the link below shows a flame fougasse being tested in secret, on flat ground. The impact on a road incline would be much greater.
