Apparently there was a time in the 17th century where some Brits said "zee". I guess they all moved to the colonies.
That's where it goes back to the US has a 17th century British accent when they speak and the Brits us a newer "British" accent that developed in the early 1800s as they emulated the popular phrasing used by the Royals at that time.

Yes, we posted the naughty people who had issues with "zed" to nicer places and kept everyone else in our lovely damp, sunless deary island...
