It was the british who started speaking differently in the late 1700's....they used to sound like Americans.

Boston and charleston both started with the same accent trying to copy the brits. Boston Brahmans are what they sounded like.

I always heard that in the 18th century most people speaking English probably sounded sort of like Jimmy Carter.

It's crazy. They also started adding "u" to words (like colour) to distance themselves from America.

Shakespeare's English was rhotic, unlike current British received pronunciation. People performing Shakespeare's plays back then would sound like pirates to us.

Fun fact: American Sign Language and British Sign Language are completely unintelligible to each other because the first school for the deaf in America was founded by a teacher who studied in France and brought back a sign teacher from there. ASL is in the French Sign Language family.
