What were the attitudes towards black people in America during the 1930s?
As a consequence of the Civil War and Reconstruction, whites in the South had developed a segregated society. African Americans were relegated to a separate "coloured" class (along with most non-Caucasian citizens) and given separate public accommodations, usually of an inferior nature. While the Northern US had few of these societal barriers, de facto segregation occurred in the urban and rural populace. Among unskilled whites, competition for employment with blacks generated racial tension which occasionally caused open hostilities between the races.
Black people were forced to give up their seat on a bus and also made to step off the sidewalk for white people. They were always the last to be hired and the first to be fired for any job, making employment difficult to find and keep.

How did people in the 1930s transportaTE?
There were many forms of transportation available by the 1930s. Henry Ford had revolutionized transportation in the early 20th century with the invention of the automobile. Many people owned automobiles and driving became a popular way to get from place to place (and still is). There were still horse drawn carriages at the time though as well. Public transportation such as trams and street trolleys also became available during this time period. Trains were the main source of transportation across long distances. Diesel engines began to replace steam engines in the 1920s because they were much more powerful and by the 1940s, diesel engines had completely replaced the use of steam powered engines. Ocean liners were the only way to travel from North America to Europe and were also very popular. Airplanes were another new form of travel in those days, but flying was very expensive, and transatlantic flights did not become available until the mid to late 1930s.

How did the United States' Great Depression of the 1930s affect Ireland?
It made them lose money off of exporting food and stuff, Ireland was involved in WWI, otherwise known as the Great War, they didn't have as bad of effects as, say, Germany. I don't know much about Ireland, but Germany's depression was caused by the Treaty of Versailles, and Hitler used it to get his nation all riled up and ready for war.
At the time although Ireland(the 26 counties) was free and independent from Britain we were still a member of the British Commonwealth and we relied almost totally on exporting and importing all our goods from Britain.In the 1930's Britain because of the great depression was in a tough economic time so this meant that Ireland would feel the hit too and then during 1932-1938 the Tariff War between Britain and Ireland began.
