The UK accent is actually more modern than that of the US because the US imported the UK one around the time of colonization.
Which one of the dozens if not hundreds of regional and culturally originated dialects and accents do you mean?
That's not how it works.
Like the Spanish- French- and Portuguese-speaking parts of the Americas, American English may have developed from an earlier form of English, but It has since gone through its own parallel evolution, making it just as "modern" as British English.
The US one evolved as well, just preserved rhoticity which is a major feature. There's no "UK accent" (nor "us accent") either - West country accents for example are still rhotic
Good thing, too, pirates would sound silly saying, "Ahhhhh, shivah me timbahs!"
There is an accent called General American (GenAm), however.

Sure but even that isn't all encompassing. I'm from SoCal and my accent/dialect has so many archaicisms that I'm probably one of the only people under 50 with the damned thing. What I get for being around old people I guess.
Though I do suppress into something approaching the general accent when talking to others, mostly because for example Mountain Dew gets mangled into münten doo.
No, that is garbled nonsense based on the misunderstanding of a factoid.
