Why did settlers build sod houses?
They built their houses out of sod because trees were scarce in the Great Plains, but the houses also were convenient... however, they were dirty and brought snakes, insects, and (of course) sod.

A sod house also was vulnerable to fires and hail, and could cause conflicts in those conditions.
