Why did it take so long for the US to put an end to slavery when it was outlawed and condemned much earlier by countries like Great Britain?

It was also being condemned and outlawed in the Northern states, at about the same time as it was in Britain.
But that was just when cotton was becoming America's biggest export, and the Southern planters represented a strong pro-slavery lobby.

When did Britain lose their American colonies?
The principal phase of decolonisation was in the 1950s and 1960s. Imperial rule had earlier ended in India (not technically a colony) in 1947. But well before then Britain had lost most of Ireland (hitherto a part of the UK rather than a colony) in 1921 and the United States in 1783, also granting effective independence in the interim to the white settlers of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Long before the creation of Great Britain, England had lost lands in Normandy (1204 and 1450) and Gascony (1451-53), as well as its brief domination of Scotland (1314).

How did Americans australians new zelanders canadians and south africans get their accent if they were decendants from british people?
All of these countries were colonized by British people from different regions of Britain, not to mention to earlier populations and immigrants from other countries. Not all people in Britain speak with the same accent--RP, what most people outside of Britain think of as a "British accent" is actually spoken by a very small number of people. Based on the political and social climate of the British Isles, people from different regions would be more likely to emigrate to one place or another. The English spoken in all of the countries you mentioned was also influenced by the accents of the people who came in from countries other than Britain as they learned English, and you can't discount the words and accents borrowed from the native inhabitants of each of the former British colonies.
