It's not that great people have come out of the South despite their accents, it's that many great people in US history were Southern, including numerous Founding Fathers. This idea of the South as uneducated and backward has developed without any real regard to the true nature of the region.

A lot of it is tied to Hollywood, which portrays the South as a backwards, racist, small town, rural place. Sure, all those things exist, but they exist elsewhere in the country, too. It's very similar to the way most Americans view Germans: Hollywood only portrays some periods in the country/area's history so people come to believe those are the general traits of the populace and associate the accent with that stereotype.

When it really comes down to it, there are very few accents that aren't stereotyped in the US and those are mostly accents with very close ties to General American.
