     4Title: Understanding the Evolution of the Magellanic System through Tidal Debris:
     5Characterizing the Magellanic Bridge
     6
     7Abstract: Galaxy interactions have greatly disturbed and redistributed the gas in the Magellanic System throughout the halos of the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. In this talk, we will discuss a recent Hα emission-line survey of warm-ionized gas in the Magellanic Bridge using the Wisconsin Hα Mapper. This census allows us to investigate the density, kinematics, morphology, source of ionization, and fate of this tidal remnant. Determining the properties of tidal debris is key for understanding the evolution of these galaxies and other tidally disturbed systems.
