A politician, Protestant cleric, and first minister of Northern Ireland (2007-2008), was born on April 6, 1926, in Armagh, United Kingdom. Paisley was militantly opposed to demands by the Roman Catholic religious minority in Northern Ireland for greater civil rights and staunchly committed to Northern Ireland's union with the United Kingdom. His political career has been marked by protests, resignations, and fierce oratory. As a young man, Paisley was active in the right-wing National Union of Protestants and gained celebrity in the 1950s by protesting against both Roman Catholicism and liberalizing tendencies within the Protestant churches. When Catholics began agitating for civil rights in the 1960s, Paisley organized marches and speeches in opposition; this led to his imprisonment for six weeks in 1968 for unlawful assembly. Paisley also denounced the Ulster Unionist Party that ruled Northern Ireland because it supported improved relations between Northern Ireland and Ireland. In 1970 he was elected to the House of Commons, the lower chamber of the United Kingdom's Parliament, and in 1971 he founded the DUP as a rival to the Unionists. In 1974 he was influential in staging a general strike that brought Northern Ireland to a standstill and destroyed the power-sharing arrangement made under the Sunningdale Agreement between the governments of Britain and Ireland.
He died on September 12, 2014, in Belfast, United Kingdom.
