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.
