What differences were there between the thirteen colonies?
Southern colonies were largely agrarian and void of cultural diversity due to the presence of slaves - it discouraged immigrants. The New England colonies were originally a religious monopoly that spurred desenters and new colony (Rhode Island). The lack of arable soil and presence of narrow, fast-moving rivers led growth of factories using hydroelectricity. The middle colonies were the most ethnically diverse of the bunch, due mainly to their original settlers: New York (by the Dutch), Delaware (Swedish colony), Maryland (haven for Catholics) and Pennsylvania (German settlers - Pennsylvania "dutch" is a bastardization of the German word for "German" - "Deutsch").

The thirteen stars on the flag of the US state of Mississippi represent the original thirteen colonies. A similar flag design, proposed but rejected in 2001, upon a ruling that state legislation of 1906 had repealed the adoption of the State flag initially designed in 1894, consisted of horizontal blue, white, and red stripes, with a blue square in the corner and the flag consisted of twenty stars - thirteen on the outside representing the original thirteen colonies, six representing the six nations which have held sovereignty over Mississippi territory, and the inner star representing Mississippi itself.

How did Americans australians new zelanders canadians and south africans get their accent if they were decendants from british people?
All of these countries were colonized by British people from different regions of Britain, not to mention to earlier populations and immigrants from other countries. Not all people in Britain speak with the same accent--RP, what most people outside of Britain think of as a "British accent" is actually spoken by a very small number of people. Based on the political and social climate of the British Isles, people from different regions would be more likely to emigrate to one place or another. The English spoken in all of the countries you mentioned was also influenced by the accents of the people who came in from countries other than Britain as they learned English, and you can't discount the words and accents borrowed from the native inhabitants of each of the former British colonies.
