Mike Lewis Keith, red neck accent might be an accent that evolved from somewhere in Europe. I can't remember. I enjoyed my time when I was in South Carolina. I made a comparison once between the red necks, the hillbillies, the Amish, the Bible belt, the southerners, the different accents of those regions of America and compare it to like I said, Europe, but from the top of my head I can't remember which country. But I think part of the adaptation of the southern accent came from the earlier settlers to America going back to like 1620 A.D. and how their accents were isolated from England and other places for almost 200 years or at least many decades. America started changing at a faster pace towards the founding of the United States towards the end of the 1700s. Understanding the evolution of accents globally throughout world history has always fascinated me. And don't get started on the New York accent which is another accent imported from I want to say the old York city. And part of me want to say it might be part of Irish. But I am only going off memory right now. I'm going to have to look all this stuff up.
