I have a blend of accents. Mostly it seems to be a kind of Delmarva thing but I grew up in upstate NY and lived in Pennsylvania Dutch country for many years so I sometimes sound just a little "dutchified". I have been living in Alaska long enough now to have started to pick up some Northwestern rhythms in my speech.

We all do; it's just a matter of context.
My mom's from Michigan, my father was ninth-generation Floridian, and I grew up in Florida. My accent's a cross between Florida Cracker (a type of Southern) and Midwestern. My diction (word usage) is Southern, though I'll pick up words from other cultures--Yiddish, British, Jamaican, etc.

I have an Afrikaans - English accent which is found in South Africa where the native language of Afrikaans (One of eleven official languages) are spoken. It is an evolved dialect of Dutch.

I speak "Chinese British Canadian American" English...because I lived in these related countries...There is nothing wrong with an accent...sometimes I got compliments for my not pure American accent...:)

Everyone has an accent. Mine would be American with a teeny bit of southern.

Sometimes I slip into a southern accent, but I have a squeeky voice so it is hard to tell!
