I don't see why they don't. The British DID colonize America, and Canada!
The Australians and New Zealanders got them. Why?
MY ANSWER:
America had a huge influx of non-British people, especially after the war of Independence. And I'm sure that since we did REBEL from Britain, a British accent and British mannerisms in general would not have made you popular.
I suspect that Australians had a predominantly British immigrant population until late in the 20th century. They had restrictive Immigration policies.
I'm going to keep the other answer so I can answer it too. Here's the thing about accents: I'm Portuguese so I can give you my word of knowledge. I learned English at school but I didn't learn the English accent, or any other accents, you have, for example the Texan accent, but the way you say it doesn't make a language. Now, to answer the answer, I hope you're not American, because if you are you need to go to school. There was an influx, like you said, of non-British, but not after any war. I'm not sure if by this you are talking about the independence from England, if you are you're right, but there was no war, or if you talking about the civil war which would be incorrect. Secondly, about Australia, until the 20th Century it was more of a prison. Some Americans were sent there for breaking the law. They were excommunicated, so it's accent over accent.
What else can I help you with?

Did people make fun of british accents back in the day in the Usa?
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.
