Found this on the internet, it's a quick 17 question quiz that pinpoints which region your dialect resembles. It told me I had a southern accent. I was born in St.louis and raised in Florida,Atlanta, and St.Louis so they got me on that. Check it out:

EDIT:
This one is kind of more thorough with 25 questions, and it pinpoints your match by town:

Neutral
You`re not Northern, Southern, or Western, you`re just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don`t really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up. -

Test said i was western
But i was born in Denver but raised in middle of the map
My Chicago cousins say i sound southern but maybe thats just because they sound like generic Chicagoans "Da bears. Da bulls, ect" -

It's not an accent per se. They should've said dialect instead of accent.
