Here are two clips of unusual American accents, the first is of the Tangier Islanders whose ancestors came from Devon & Cornwall over 300 years ago and their accent is probably closer to that of 17th century South West England that that of people living there today:
The second is of two "Boston Brahmin's" who sound like they've been cast by Hollywood to play two English aristocrats.
There's no point to this post, I just found it interesting.

They're the same clip. But it was good to hear it twice.
Neither seem to be there at the moment. Pity, I am indeed interested.
Peter, I'll change the second video now.
Wonderfulforhisage- They should be working even if I've got the wrong one for the 2nd video.
They are both working fine now. Thank you.
I loved those matching western shirts. Interesting community.

It was probably in style back in the 1680s when they went over.
