Aren't all American accents pretty much the same except mid west which is supposedly plain-ish....and cowboys.
Debate please
The accents here are regional like anywhere else. There's some states that have particularly unique accents...like New York, (obviously) Minnesota, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Georgia/Alabama/Mississippi, etc.
You know it when you hear it.
But places like Florida, where I'm at, we don't really have a very distinct accent - probably because we're a tourism state, and people from everywhere else move here with their own accents. But even then, I can tell a native Floridian from a transplant...there's a little hint of southern and something else there.
Pretty cool site for accents:
