People can never seem to agree on how to describe old fashioned accents, but when I listen to Confederate veterans my feeling is that they sound only vaguely Southern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfqIa4dDxrw …

Maybe the most distinctive element of the Southern accent, the pin/pen merger, is surprisingly recent. For example the vast majority of Civil War veterans did not have it and it came to be used by a majority of people in Tennessee only around 1900:pic.twitter.com/0btHq8T44P
