## Biography

Christina Elaina McClellan was born on January 24, 1940, with a twin brother Christian Lachlan McClellan, in Boston, Massachusetts, to Nicholas McClellan and Victoria Mary Reagan. Christina was an infant when the United States was forced to enter World War II following a Japanese Naval attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Of all Christina's notable childhood memory highlights, World War II ended when she was 5-years-old, the war began when Christina was on the way.

Christina's older sister Eleanora could no longer handle the dysfunction of their parents, they separated but they together to raise Christina and Christian. Eleanora gained independence through her marriage with Garfield Lucas Webster II and lived in Alaska till Garfield II died in 2019. Christina felt abandoned by Eleanora, now having to witness her parents' distain for each other that their marital tensions distracted them from spending time with her, resulting in her elder brother Jonathan Lachlan McClellan to take care of things. Christina avoided her parents as much as she could, even proposed that she go to boarding school instead. As a member of the Episcopal Church, a faith that Eleanora would spread to her children in Alaska, and one was found in colonial Zimbabwe, called the Bishopslea Preparatory School, where Christina got to see the incredibleness of African culture, while witness the brutality of British colonialism. and this experience taught her to improve her social skills, since she was socially awkward back in Boston. Christina is known for her frequent journal writing, and she wrote her thoughts in her journals as a method of comfort. Christina wrote that the Southern Rhodesians (which was what Zimbabweans were originally called before their independence from Britain in 1965) were open and warm and she supported their independence from the British crown. Christina was regarded as a hardworking student and she was allowed to graduate early, prompting her father to proudly promote her to Oxford.

In 1957, Christina met Samuel Lyons Bismarck, a Bismarck from Texas. At first, Christina made clear her disdain for Bismarcks to Samuel, but Samuel turned out to be charming and charismatic, the kind of men Christina was attracted to, and she was confused about her love for Samuel. After graduating Oxford early, Christina, luckily her father has an estate in Texas, decided to go there often, despite not liking Texas very much because it was one of the very heavily racially segregated states in the United States of America, a very significant majority of such states are in the south, and another reason why Christian did not like the south was because lynchings of Black Americans are an epidemic especially in the south, another motivator for Christina's anti-southern disdain was her over-patriotism, the south's rebellion against the United States in the early 1860s does little to make Christina respect the south and Christina had always questioned why the Confederates were never put to death for their insurrection. A Republican at first, which was very typical for a New Englander at the time, but Christina grew increasingly disappointed and disillusioned with the Republican Party's increasing shift to the right, prompting her to support Democrats more than she occasionally still supported Republicans as did many New Englanders during her early time.

Christina and Samuel married in February 1959 in Texas, despite family backlash back in Boston and Eleanora cutting Christina off due to her profound hatred for the Bismarck family. Immediately after the wedding, which was poorly attended by the McClellan family and the Webster family, Samuel and Christina Bismarck conceived their first child, Christian Mickey Bismarck, who was born on January 25, 1960. Christina then had her first daughter in 1963, Christina Elaina Bismarck, named after herself. Third child overall and second daughter Samantha Victoria Bismarck was born in 1967, and in 1970, Christina had her first son since Christian, naming him after her husband, Samuel Lyons Bismarck, Jr. Samuel and Christina's youngest was born, Coretta Rose Bismarck, in 1972, who was named after the widow of Martin Luther King Jr and partially named after Rosa Parks.
