I thought it was that modern US southern accents probably sound closer to the original 17th and 18th century English pronunciation than modern English pronunciations. I don't think anyone's ever said what you're saying they said.

And I don't know how that would mean anything to Australia where they shipped their criminals, who famously had bad diction anyway.

My understanding was that Southern accents sounded closer to upper class English and New England accents were a sort of proto-cockney.

When Jeb Bush was asked at a debate what woman he thought should go on the US $10 or whichever bill it was, he said Thatcher.

Yep.

No but the British ruling class owned all of Ireland at the time instead of just the really poo poo bit, and starved it to obliteration.
