The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George and said that no colonist could beyond an imaginary line near the Appalachian Mountains. The purpose was to stabilize relations with the Native Americans.

American colonists justified in fighting a war to break away from Britain. One reason American colonists justified in fighting a war to break away from Britain was because Americans didn't want to pay high taxes. The fight for the Ohio River Valley lead to the American Revolution.
I think you mean 1860. No, there wasn't. At worst, the Confederacy could have reached as far as the Ohio River, but never beyond it.
The Proclamation of 1763 was an attempt to prevent the colonists from going west and passed the Appalachian Mountains. The British did this to prevent future issues between Native Americans and the colonists. This angered the colonists because they wanted the benefits that would come with the western lands. Naturally, thousands disregarded the imaginary boundary line. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was sent out by George III on October 7th 1763, restricting American settlement to the Eastern Seaboard area. Americans could not move westward into the Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley, or south into the Floridas (i.e. the Gulf Coast). It meant that colonists couldn't move farther west than the Appalachian mountains. This upset the colonists because some had already claimed land to the west. The main reason for the rule was that it was costing too much money for the British to keep hostile Indians away from the settlers. It did not succeed because so many colonists were already settled in the area. It was finally altered in 1768 and 1770 to recognize the western settlements.
The three rivers that created the Forks of the Ohio Valley are the Allegheny River, the Monongahela River, and the Ohio River. The confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers forms the Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This region played a significant role in the development of transportation and trade in early American history. The forks are historically important for both Native American tribes and European settlers.

The colonists wanted to settle the Ohio River Valley.
No. The Navigation Acts restricted colonial trade. They had nothing to do with settling Ohio or related areas. The Appalachian Mountains served as a natural barrier for the colonies during that period. Anything west of those mountains was not colonial land.
