It's called the holy crusades for a reason. The English were trying to wipe out the "evil non-believers" who worshiped a religion besides Christianity. This is why the soilders also had a painting of a cross on their armor.

Is the southern dialect the closest to British English of the American dialects?

No, American English is pretty distinct from British English at this point, especially what most people think of as a Southern dialect.

The problem is that the accents have remained more similar than the dialects have.
