(French Revolution) How successful was the terror in destroying counter revolution in the years 1792-1795?

The terror enforced in 1793 was designed to stabilise the French government by removing counter-revolutionary threats. This was partly successful, with the crushing of the risings in the Vendeé and Rouens, many opponents to the republic were destroyed, and many others beaten into submission. However, ultimately the terror was not successful in destroying counter revolutionary resentment as there was felt by Robespierre the need to continue into the 'White terror'. Had the Great terror been successful surely this would not have been needed.
