I have the impression there was a pronounced "cracker" accent in FL-GA during Reconstruction and presumably antebellum too. I'm pretty sure I've seen whites quoted in dialect from that period.
It's still pretty easy to identify people from Baaaahstan and Long Isleland. Alaskans and some Wisconsin/Minnesota folks sound almost Canadian at times.
Were those accents as identifiable in the 1860s?
Television destroyed most accents
