Heh no, linguists are sure it's the most similar dialect to Old English, the only difference is maybe the tempo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=mNqY6ftqGq0

Not "Old English", but the British English accent prevalent around the time of the founding of the United States.

Old English is ~500AD, Beowulf, and a completely different language to anything ever spoken in the United States.
