I do think it’s interesting the similarities between the American South accents and the former British colony accents. I saw a documentary once that said there’s an accent from some island in Virginia (or maybe the Carolinas) that is virtually unchanged from the British accent, as was spoken in the 1700s
I’m sure that was the inspiration for this post.
That was my first inclination as well.
