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

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.
