Did Lincoln Have A Southern Accent?

[Checkers]

FORGET ALL THAT BULLSHIT ABOUT ILLINOIS BEING THE LAND OF LINCOLN...LINCOLN HAD HIS PROFESSIONAL LIFE THERE BUT HE WAS BORN AND RAISED IN KENTUCKY...THEREFORE SINCE KENTUCKY IS WHERE HE LEARNED TO SPEAK HE MUST HAVE HAD A SOUTHERN ACCENT, WHICH ONE USUALLY DOESN'T LOSE, EVEN IF ONE MOVES NORTH...DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? I KNOW THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SPORTS OR BETTING BUT I DIDNT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO POST MY QUERY...IT'S REALLY WACKY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT THAT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE NORTHERN FORCES DURING THE CIVIL WAR WAS A SOUTHERNER...IN FACT, THE NO. 2 MAN WAS ALSO A SOUTHERNER, ANDREW JOHNSON OF TENNESSEE

ALSO, COULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS: DURING THE CIVIL WAR, THE BORDER BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH WAS THE MASON DIXON LINE, WHICH IS THE BORDER BETWEEN PENNSYLVANIA AND MARYLAND...EVERYTHING NORTH OF THE MASON DIXON LINE WAS NORTHERN TERRITORY AND EVERYTHING SOUTH OF THE MASON DIXON LINE WAS SOUTHERN TERRITORY...YET THE CAPITAL CITY OF THE NORTH WAS WASHINGTON DC, WHICH IS BETWEEN MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA...YES, THE NORTH'S CAPITAL WAS LOCATED IN SOUTHERN TERRITORY...HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE?
