It depends on the "America accent" being referred to. A New York accent and an accent from Alabama are different. Old Shakespearean is closer to a US southern accent. There are remote fishing communities along Atlantic coast where traces of olde English accent remain.

Listen to this British actor recite lines in modern English accent and then older accent

Then listen to these older accented southern folks
