Where did southern accents in the US come from?
In: 3138
Most American accents started as British accents, and then changed in their own unique ways in each region within a couple of generations. The south is a very big, spread out place so there are also different types of southern accents in different regions. For example, people from Tennessee do not sound like people from Florida, and people from Dallas TX do not sound like people from San Antonio TX.

The same place any accent comes from, a group of people geographically isolated from another group of people, so small changes in pronunciation don’t move between groups until over time there is a noticeable difference.
The same thing happens on a larger scale to make new languages. That’s how Latin evolved into the Romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian, etc)
