re: Do Boston accents sound like a forced Southern accent?

I have always thought Boston and new Orleans folks had similar accents.
Most port cities do, especially on the east coast. Boston, Philly, NY, Newark, Baltimore.
This is because of the similar immigrant influxes - Germans, Irish, Italians, Puerto Ricans, Jamaicans, Lebanese etc over the decades.
If you listen to a lot of the Caribbean dialects you will hear a good bit of Irish brogue and slang as well because of the Irish that were sent to the Caribbean as slaves by Cromwell and intermarried.
