I'm sure the transition of early colonials speaking with an identifiably British accent to modern folk speaking with a distinct regional accent is long and interesting.


You really think it's more likely that Americans added a shitload of R sounds in random places than that most British accents dropped them?

Anyway, the RP English accent is an extremely new innovation, so don't think George Washington spoke like a BBC newscaster.
