They look british.

reminder to sage American threads

Southern English has more holdovers from British English than any other part of America. Your general Americuck accent and speech did more to warp the language than we did.

u r dum

Aren't some anthropologists arguing that our accent is actually closer to how Brits sounded a few hundred years ago?

A lot of whites in areas of the south are mostly British Isles stock.

That's not where your accent is from. You picked up post revolution pronunciation shifts in Britain because your population centers were ports that traded heavily with the Brits, specifically your slave picked cotton went to their textile mills. The modern British pronounciation is a later mutation and not closer than standard American (hell it's not rhotic). More importantly a lot of you Southerners are of Scots Irish stock.

Maybe because USA was a british colony?

Southern Americans...

It's hard to tell since there obviously aren't recordings but proper British accents aren't rhotic (some local ones are) and all English used to be so that's a big hole in theirs being "correct".
