Oh for sure. I would even say that invading Russia would be easier, as
at 
least you have land communication. Invading the USA by sea, in the teeth
of 
anything the Atlantic and then the various navies could throw at you
would 
be nearly impossible.

One set of ideas I do like is from Harry Turtledove. In a world where
the 
CSA won at Antietam, and then won again 10 years later with the aid of
the 
French and British, the Great War opens out on the US continent with the

USA fighting with the Germans / Austrians, and the CSA alongside the 
British and French.
