Do people still keep their accent when they speak foreign languages?

Re: Where Accents Come From.

It has always made me wonder how North American accent in English came to differ so much from British English! The settlers came from Britain! Maybe it is the confusion of other accents from other national origins that changed the accent in English.

I don't have an accent. I live in Ohio and sound perfectly normal.
