Unlikely. The accents of both the British and the Americans in the early years of America's colonisation were both strongly rhotic, meaning there was an emphasis on the pronunciation of the 'r' wherever it occurred after a vowel, e.g. the word teacher. It was not until later that the British accent, aside from the Scottish and Irish, began to depart from the rhotic, so there was initially little difference between the British and American accents.

Why is it so easy to pick up a British accent?
It may be easier to pick up a British accent because of its prevalence in media and pop culture.

Additionally, the British accent may sound familiar to many English speakers, making it easier to mimic compared to other accents.
