Did george s Patton have a accent?

Answer 1

Well, honey, George S. Patton was a good ol' boy from California, so you bet your bottom dollar he had himself an accent. But let me tell you, that man's accent was as American as apple pie and freedom. So, yes, Patton had himself a good ol' American accent, no doubt about it.

Answer 2

There are a few recordings of natives from near Los Angeles at the turn of the century who sounded like him. Many American cities at the time developed a more cultured accent, like Patton's. On top of that, Patton went to Virginia Military Institute (VMI). Also, take into account that the US was settled from East to West, so many families had come from the South, like Patton's family did.

When Patton was a little boy, the Grey Ghost came out West and visited the Pattons at old Lake Vineyard in San Marino near the Molino Viejo. Since the Pattons descend from veterans of the War of 1861 to 1865, it should not be surprising if Patton also wanted to emulate them in speech. Further, biographies of Patton describe his overcoming dyslexia, and he might have had issues with his speech, too, that gave his personality color and charisma.

Answer 3

Yes, General George S. Patton had a distinctive accent known as a Midwestern American accent. He was born in California and spent much of his early life in various states in the Midwest, which likely influenced his accent. Patton's speech was described as forceful and commanding, matching his personality and leadership style.

Answer 4

Well, isn't that an interesting question. George S. Patton was known to have a distinctive accent, often described as a mix of Southern and Midwestern tones. His unique way of speaking added to his charismatic personality and made him quite memorable. Just like a happy little accent can add charm to a painting, Patton's accent added character to his persona.

Answer 5

After hearing some speeches by him, I have not been able to figure out if it was a speech impediment by which his R's sounded like W's or simply by a Virginian accent.
