Answer 2

Answer:

During the early settlements, the houses were built of sod initially which was a layer of grass and soil since wood was not available because there were not enough trees.  

Explanation:

In the early years, the people made their houses with the top layer of soil and grass and the roof also was covered with sod held together with the wood beams.

In the later years, as technology evolved the houses were built with wood boards which were brought in via the railroads. The barbed wires were used for protecting the crops from the animals.
