Mangalore was then called as Canara. It included many districts from the now Dakshina Karnataka and Uttara Karnataka regions. In 1857, as a part of the peasant revolts, Canara also became the center of many revolutionaries for the British. This revolt was going on for almost 3 years.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The peasants were forced to sell their resources in order to pay the taxes and the revenue to the colonial government. This revolt went on for 3 years. Finally, in 1862, the Britishers decided to divide Canara district and gave away the Karwar or the Uttara Karnataka region to the Bombay Presidency.
