Reliable reference works contradict two parts of this statement.

1. Jean-Baptiste Carrier was not a general commanding the Vendée campaign. Larousse identifies Carrier as a "représentant en mission" (representative on mission) sent to Nantes from 8 October 1793 to 8 February 1794. That is a political/revolutionary office, not a military command.

2. The “infernal columns” were not Carrier’s forces. Larousse’s history dictionary defines the colonnes infernales as particularly bloody expeditions in the Vendée carried out under General Turreau’s authority at the beginning of 1794. A second Larousse entry likewise says the repression in the countryside fell under the orders of General Turreau, with the columns later called "infernales".

So the article incorrectly attributes the military suppression and the “infernal columns” to Carrier. Carrier was a political representative associated above all with the Nantes repression, while the “infernal columns” were Turreau’s operations.

This sentence is contradicted by standard historical references.

• The date is wrong: Larousse’s biography of François Séverin Marceau-Desgraviers states that he was victorious at Savenay on 23 December 1793, not 22 December.
• The event is misidentified: Larousse explains that the Chouannerie was a movement parallel to but different from the War in the Vendée, beginning in Brittany and Maine and lasting until peace agreements in February 1800. Another Larousse entry on the guerre de Vendée dates that conflict itself to 1793–1796.

So Savenay cannot correctly be described as the moment when "the Chouan rebellion subsided" on 22 December 1793. At most, Savenay marked a decisive defeat for Vendéan forces in late 1793; the distinct Chouan insurgency continued for years afterward.

The passage merges two different royalist movements and two different peace settlements.

• Larousse states that the Chouannerie was a movement in Brittany and Maine, parallel to but distinct from the War in the Vendée.
• Larousse’s Vendée entry says that after Thermidor, negotiations with Charette produced a peace treaty signed near Nantes at La Jaunaye in February 1795.
• By contrast, Larousse’s Chouannerie entry dates the first Chouan truce to 19 April 1795, the treaty of La Mabilais.

So it is inaccurate to say Hoche forced the Chouans to stop fighting and that the result was Charette’s 17 February settlement. Charette was a Vendéan leader, and his February peace was not the Chouan truce.
