The accent is really usually more of a Dutch accent than it is an American one, though I guess that's closer to the American one than to the British one [1]. I'm not sure if it's been researched, but what would seem to be the obvious reason is that we just hear a lot more spoken American English than British English, on TV, on the radio, and online.
