Edexcel History Coursework Error

Hi, I got my history coursework question set today. My exam board is Edexcel and im doing 'A Disunited Nation' ie the American Civil War. With one of the sources its a satrical picture of Lincoln with his foot according to Edexcel on the bible which is kind of stupid considering hes drafting the Emancipation Proclamation which is a morally good and Christian action but according to numerous sites and an actual official US Gov't website it states that his foot is on the Constitution which would make a lot more sense as Lincoln can be seen to abuse his executive powers during the Civil War. Im going to ask my teacher tommorow about this and hell probably get onto the exam board about it, but im just pointing it out to people. Ultimately do you think I should answer it to the historically incorrect question (edexcel) or ignore it and do it historically correct?

The source picture
That'd have to be a very large-type copy of the Constitution. It isn't exactly a long document.

:ditto: the Constitution as it was then runs to about 10 sides of A4...
