They do. It's just that the English accent has actually evolved over time, whereas the American accent has become more entrenched in its current form.Originally, both the British and Americans spoke with a rhotic accent. Rhotic essentially means an accent where the letter 'r' is pronounced strongly after a vowel. Rhotic accents are strong in both the US and Scotland, but seem to have disappeared from British English and its derivatives, such as Australian and New Zealand English. The dominant American accent (the typical accent of the mid-western US) is rhotic, and British English is, as a rule, non-rhotic, but this is a relatively "recent" development over the past century or so.The rhoticity of US English is increasing, as older speakers of non-rhotic Southern variants die out, while the situation in UK is the opposite as the number of speakers of rhotic accents such as West Country fall away.
