is there a variation with the type of accents? For some reason it seems that its kind of like Britain in that it is rooted in class.

You sort of have the accent that I'm assuming originated in the aristocrat/planter society that I would compare to something like in "Gone With the Wind". It seems that this is more common in the deep south and tidewater area.

Then there's sort of a more "raw" accent found in the backcountry like in TN, AR, OK, TX etc. Although there is some overlap with the first one, it seems to be of the "finger/fanger and pen/pin" type of accent.
