For which government are you counting that as an achievement?
Apparently the governments of "every other nation on earth". Which is odd, because I don't think my country achieved that. I can only assume countries which never had slavery are excluded.
Did your locale never have slavery, or did it just never have slavery under a particular flag?
My understanding is that slavery was a near universal in the last couple thousand years of human history, and lack of slavery was the exception.
Australia had slavery. It was entirely unregulated until 1868. The practice mostly ended when Australia decided on a mass deportation of all Pacific Islanders in 1901, for racial reasons.
