    I am wondering if it’s the closest he could get to an American accent so they decided to roll with it

      It’s intentionally a very over the top southern accent.

        I wouldn’t say it’s over the top. It’s just old fashioned. That’s an intermediary accent between British and modern Southern American. That was a very common accent in the 1700s-1800s.
