The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The UK Government isn't responsible for national holidays outside of the UK.
You could start a petition calling for the UK to have a bank holiday on June 19th to mark the end of slavery, if that's what you'd like to see happen. You might also want to sign and share this petition that calls for a bank holiday on August 1st:
